It was always called the Frogeye in the UK - I know as I've owned 5 of the blighters. In terms of fun for your money, nothing gets close. Not fast but you never had to slow down too much for the corners either - and they were virtually indestructable (I tried - rallying, autotests, you name it). Too much fun to be ugly (like certain wimmin:-)

The Daimler SP250 was clearly designed by a committee, but any early racing Marcos makes me cry. I was about to suggest the Hummer, but that's obviously a gun emplacement on wheels, not an automobile.
